Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups (272g) all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ¾ cups (420g) buttermilk
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup (113g) butter, melted
2 jalapeño peppers diced (optional for those who like a spicy kick!)

Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Pour in the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir until well combined.
Pour the waffle mix into the preheated waffle iron. The amount of batter needed varies based on each waffle iron. Scoop the batter into your waffle iron in batches and cook according to the manufacturer's directions (lean toward being a little deep) and cook until golden brown and perfectly crisp.
Keep finished waffles warm while cooking the rest of the batch.

Notes

Keep the cooked waffles warm by storing in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 200 degrees F / 94 degrees C on a wire rack on a baking sheet.
Lightly oil or spray the waffle iron with cooking spray before cooking each batch.
Want even crispier waffles? Turn the heat up on the waffle iron. Don’t worry, you won’t burn them.
Do NOT open the waffle maker halfway through cooking at the risk of breaking the waffles.
Do NOT over-mix the waffle mix. This will make them turn out too dense.
Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
